Role
Insurance Representative
The hiring challenge
Selling insurance is consultative and long-cycle: the candidate must explain coverage and exclusions to a customer who does not understand the fine print, without over-promising. Many salespeople strong at quick closes get frustrated with the follow-up and promise what the policy does not cover, generating later complaints.
What to assess
Consultative selling style, the ability to explain complex products honestly, and orientation to a long-term relationship rather than an immediate close.
